Does Netcaster require Marimba Castanet technology?
No. Netcaster works seamlessly with standard HTTP Web servers and completely leverages existing content, protocols, and infrastructure. However, to increase the breadth of capabilities for channel providers, the integrated Marimba Castanet Tuner provides an alternative, dedicated push server to offer increased automation, user feedback, efficient polling, and a distributed server architecture on server platforms including Unix and NT, providing Netscape with an application distribution solution unmatched by Microsoft. Netscape provides an open platform on which third-party developers can build push solutions.
